***** The Rules for the Men’s Knockout Competitions are now in the Men’s Section *****
President’s Day 2021
Do I or don’t I? With the ongoing speculation between scientists, statisticians and politicians whether we will achieve the next stage on the roadmap with a return to normality on the 21st June, and after some deliberation and crystal ball gazing, I have decided to radically change the format of Presidents day 2021 and spread the event over 3 days for the 3 sections of the Club.
The Men’s Section will play as planned on Sunday 27th June with a medal on offer. The entry fee will be £3 plus a £1 2’s club making £4 in total. We will retain the current procedure for the Men’s Competitions and book in on Saturday 12th June as normal and scores etc will be entered onto the system using HowdidIdo with copies of the cards to Ian McPhillips as usual. 100% of the entry money will be paid as prizes along with a contribution from Club funds. Prizes as shop vouchers with £100 for the overall winner. In previous years the prize fund has been around £600+ for the Men, but it depends on the entry. Watch out for some random prizes for the non-winners.
The dates for the Ladies and Seniors events are currently been agreed with the respective committees.
The message to all our members is stay safe and enjoy the golf. Hopefully this will only be a one off and 2022 will see a normal golfing year.

Hole in One – Ken Wilkinson
It was a great start to the season for Ken Wilkinson who had the perfect way to shake off the pandemic blues with a Hole in One.
Ken was playing in the Seniors Competition on Monday morning and played his ace on the 12th hole. Congratulations Ken on joining an exclusive club with a Hole in One in competition play.
Abnormal Ground Conditions
The exceptional dry April weather has delayed the recent drainage works from knitting back into the course.
Therefore, with immediate effect and until further notice, all recent drainage works are to be treated as Ground Under Repair (GUR) Rule16 applies.
In addition, the area of soft mounding between the area of the 13th and 17th greens is also GUR until further notice.

Captains Drive-In 2021
It’s official … its the start of the season and following in the traditional manner, today was the Captain’s Drive-In. This was a drive-in with a difference as current restrictions curtailed any social activity associated with the event. Both Graham Brown and Lilian Allison struck superb shots down the fairway and in so doing, became the first Captains of High Gosforth Park Golf Club, our newly renamed club. Well done to you both and best wishes for a successful year in your roles.
